screen flashing black when moving objects

[beejay-forum]

Just bought new mac, when using InDesign the screen keeps flashing black when I move objects.

Update: Adobe just updated most of their Creative Cloud apps to a 2017 edition…

Same issues in Adobe InDesign CC 2017.

Meh.

This is only happening in InDesign when I move objects, so i tried unplugging my second monitor and it stopped, as soon as I plugged it back in it started again...

The problem still exists with Adobe InDesign CC 2017 and macOS Sierra on iMac late 2015 with retina display and second monitor - very frustrating!

This still isn't fixed, do we have an ETA yet?

Adobe AND Apple still don't seem to care about this issue / are just pushing users from one to the others... it has been a problem on all macs in my company for over a year now without a fix.. Iam ever since working with the "Workaround" of enlarging the cursor in the osx settings. Sadly this results in a wrong display of the pencil/brush radius and also it doesn't fix it for Acrobat..

I could go crazy over this but i have no idea how this can be an issue for such a long time.

AND STILL BE AN ISSUE 😕

It's getting so frustrating.

I have an I Mac retina display and am having this exact same issue. i tried the fix by going into energy saver to tun off automatic graphics switching but that option is not there on my system preferences set up. i am using the latest version of mac sierra.

January 2019. Confirming this bug is still happening.

Running InDesign 2019 on a 2018 MacMini, Samsung U32J59x 4K UHD monitor connected via HDMI 2 cable.

Screen drops out and goes black whenever I move primary text frame with text inside.

Same here.

This is unbearable, really. I am calling tomorrow. What am I paying 30 Euros a month for?

Have you tried unticking GPU Performance under the GPU Performance tab in InDesign Preferences?

This is a long, old discussion. The new posters have not described their system setups or symptoms. It would be better for them to start new discussions. I'm going to lock this old discussion before it gets too muddy and confusing.
